"Little grass, who likes to do chores? I'll help you."
"No need."
Ning Xiaocao rejected him again.
"Little grass—"
"The dragon is approaching."
Seeing Long Lin calling her name repeatedly, Ning Xiaocao couldn't help but call out her name as well.
"What exactly do you mean? Is it fun to tease me like this?"
"What? I wasn't kidding you, I just—"
"Don't be nice to me anymore."
Ning Xiaocao spoke each word carefully.
“I know we grew up together, and you treated me like a little sister, so you wanted to take care of me. But that’s not right, because I’ve never considered you my brother. I already have a brother. Don’t you understand how I feel about you?”
"I'm sorry, little grass, I—"
“You don’t need to apologize to me. You haven’t done anything wrong to me. I was just too entitled and too one-sided.” As Ning Xiaocao spoke, tears welled up in her eyes again, and she threw down the axe. “Your only mistake was being too good to me, which led me to misunderstand.”
"sorry."
Long Lin lowered his head, his voice tinged with sadness.
"It's really nothing?"
Xiao Cao pulled a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped her face haphazardly. "I can slowly let you go now. As long as you don't appear in front of me for a while, I'm sure I can let you go."
"Of course, this period of time shouldn't be too long. Once I get married, we can become real siblings."
Ning Xiaocao's voice trembled slightly, her heart pounding.
Her words were, in fact, somewhat coercing Long Lin.
This was her last attempt to test the waters.
Long Lin cares about her.
She knew it very well.
Therefore, these words were half sincere and half insincere.
She certainly hoped that Long Lin could stay by her side, but she didn't care about the status of companionship.
If you want to be with her, you can, but only in the name of her husband.
If you can't, then stay away from her, the farther away the better.
Of course, if one day she gets married, it means she has completely let go of Long Lin.
Whether Long Lin appears or not will no longer affect her.
"sorry."
Long Lin repeated the same words: "I already have someone I like, but I—"
The moment Long Lin said sorry, Ning Xiaocao seemed to hear the sound of her own heart breaking.
Her heart felt like it was aching, but at the same time, it didn't hurt anymore.
There is no greater sorrow than a broken heart; it seems she has truly given up completely.
Seemingly unnoticed, a wisp of dark mist suddenly wrapped around Ning Xiaocao's calves, slowly creeping up her body until it seeped into her heart.
Ning Xiaocao's pupils became even darker.
The outermost layer was wrapped in red.
You haven't done anything to wrong me.
Ning Xiaocao suddenly raised her voice. Judging from her voice, she seemed to be crying, but at this moment, Long Lin could clearly see that a smile had appeared on the corner of her lips.
His eyes were as bright as ever, no, they seemed even darker and brighter than before.
"Don't apologize to me anymore."
"Little grass?"
“Brother Long, I know what I just said might have troubled you. How about this, I take it back. Let’s just be like brother and sister.”
Look, she can say things like that with a smile. If you want to be siblings, then be.
To be siblings for life—
Just a moment ago, she was about to cry because of Long Lin's rejection, but now she can say these words. If it were the old her, she would definitely have cried her eyes out, even clinging to his leg and begging him, but not now, never again.
Isn't it just a matter of being harder on the heart?
She can too.
Ning Hong's face turned ashen.
"Long Lin, you should go back now. Come back another day."
"But Xiaocao—" she looked a little abnormal.
"It's okay, you've figured it out, haven't you? This is a good thing for you, isn't it?"
So stop worrying about these things.
Why is this dragon man so indecisive? He really doesn't understand. Is it because of him that Little Grass has become like this?
Long Lin left with a worried expression.
No sooner had he left than Ning Hongze pulled Ning Xiaocao back to her room.
"elder brother?"
"If you want to cry, then cry. Cultivators are meant to be spontaneous. Suppressing yourself like this is actually detrimental to your cultivation."
"Brother, it's not that I don't want to cry, it's that I can't cry."
Ning Xiaocao raised her head. "To be honest, I thought I would be in a lot of pain. You saw it too. Just a moment ago, I was trying to force him to make a choice. I hoped that he could choose me for the sake of our years of relationship. But thinking about it, I should know that if he really chose me, he wouldn't have left back then."
"Little grass—"
"However, after he actually made his choice, I suddenly realized that I wasn't actually that upset. I felt that at that moment, I didn't like him as much anymore."
"He was like the hardest piece of firewood I ever chopped. Since I couldn't cut it in two with one stroke, I chopped it little by little. Although it took a while, I still managed to slice that piece of firewood into pieces."
Although Ning Xiaocao spoke lightly, her appearance only made Ning Hongze more worried.
The little grass looked obviously a bit off.
